Capo 2nd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Tie the sheets to the green washing line
And check if the weather's fine
It's that time of the calender year
The chateau and millenium wine
[G/f#]
Are the kids washed and t-shirts clean
Like your weekly with men's magazines
October
By noon it's a sure thing that tempers will rise
As the first of the kegs is drained dry
Contemplating the last of the roast
Is that your wife that's kissing the under twelve's coach?
[G/f#]
The prodigy's job is to drive the kids home
Newspaper hats and a hair frosted comb
October
Bridge
[G/f#]
Have you caught up on your neighbour's life
let's drink to the red in the heart of the sky
It's over, it's over, it's over
